I agree with you elaney about “choosing Christmas.” It’s fun to decorate, get a tree, put up tacky lights, make gingerbread houses, etc. and get in the spirit of Christmas (i.e. let out your inner child)!

Handel’s Messiah at the ASO (with the Hallelujah Chorus) is the be-all way to get in the holiday spirit. So moving! I will be going every year from now on.
